"The strategy is a roadmap for growth and empowerment, but it’s the performance to date that demonstrates our commitment to deliver on that goal – a collective dedication to drive meaningful change for the economic aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.” – Eddie Fry IBA Chairperson

Indigenous Business Australia (IBA) set out a clear path to deliver financial inclusion and economic empowerment with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

The recent IBA Board Meeting reviewed the performance and the strategy, and confirmed that the goals set in place a year ago in the Strategy Towards 2028 are well on track.

IBA Chairperson Eddie Fry, a Dagoman man outlined the achievement emphasising the strategy’s focus on Indigenous prosperity.

“I am deeply proud of IBA’s commitment to supporting our people in achieving financial independence and lasting outcomes for the communities we serve and look forward to more good things to come – particularly working with the new Minister for Indigenous Australians, Senator the Hon Malarndirri McCarthy, and developing the commitments the Prime Minister announced at Garma about boosting the investment, borrowing and lending power of IBA,” Eddie Fry said.
